Chapter 339 The Chen Family's Background

"I wonder who senior is? Why are you protecting him? He killed my second uncle. The evidence is conclusive. Please don't stop us from taking revenge."

Chen Chao said to Lengxue in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.

"Are you so sure that he is the murderer?" Lengxue asked.

"What do you mean by this, senior? Could it be that the murderer is someone else?" Chen Chao asked with a frown.

"I can only tell you that the murderer is not him." Lengxue said with certainty.

"Then what happened to this flying knife? He admitted it himself." Chen Chao said.

"If he was really the murderer, how could he be so stupid as to leave the murder weapon at the scene after the murder? Obviously someone did this deliberately to frame him."

After hearing what Leng Xue said, Chen Chao felt that it made sense, but he didn't completely believe it and asked, "Who is the murderer?"

"We will naturally investigate the murderer. Anyone who dares to kill someone in Qingfeng City will not be able to escape the sanctions of our Qingfeng Sect."

Cold-blooded said coldly.

"It turns out that senior is from the Qingfeng Sect. Please investigate thoroughly and find out the murderer."

When he learned that the person in front of him was from the Qingfeng Sect, Chen Chao immediately became respectful.

At this moment, Wuqing suddenly appeared on the scene and said: "Until the matter is investigated, no one can leave Qingfeng City, and you can't leave either."

As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Cao Yan intentionally or unintentionally.

Cao Yan noticed the ruthless gaze, his eyes flashed, and he said: "I came here this time to protect the young master on the order of the family master. I will not leave until the young master enters the Qingfeng Sect."

"Cold-blooded, let's go and see the body."

Ruthless said.

"Two seniors, I will lead the way."

Chen Chao diligently led the way for Qing Wu and Leng Xue, while Tie Shou returned to Qingfeng Sect.

After listening to Tie Shou's report, Qin Ye pondered for a moment and said, "Go check it out yourself. I am about to go into seclusion. If there is a difficult person to deal with, let Zhu ignore it."

For Qin Ye, this matter was just a small matter, and he had completely delegated power to Qin Qing. With the abilities of the four of them, it should not be difficult to find the murderer.

After Tie Shou left, Qin Ye called Zhu Wuwu and Cao Zhengchun again, explained to them, and then entered the training hall to retreat.

After choosing the best room, Qin Ye began to retreat.

He took out the Enlightenment Fruit from the storage ring and ate it into his stomach in a few mouthfuls. Qin Ye soon entered the state of Enlightenment.

Wuqing and Lengxue saw Chen Fenghua's body. They checked it and found that there were no wounds on the surface of the body, and the fatal injury was in the throat.

So the two took Chen Fenghua's body away and handed it to Wu Zuo for autopsy.

The autopsy results came out in the afternoon. Chen Fenghua was indeed killed by a flying knife. This showed that the other party took action instantly and he did not even have time to react.

Chen Fenghua was at the eighth level of innate cultivation, so he could be killed in an instant. Either someone he knew well made a sudden move, or the murderer's cultivation was much stronger than Chen Fenghua's.

Cold-blooded and Ruthless looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.

Chen Fenghua was killed when he first arrived. Whether it was a vendetta or a deliberate attempt to create chaos, they didn't have any clues yet.

"We have met a master. This person can kill Chen Fenghua without anyone noticing, and he did it in Qingfeng City. Is this a coincidence or did the murderer deliberately choose to be in Qingfeng City? Could it be that this murderer came for our Qingfeng Sect? "

Leng Xue said.

"Let Xue Sha investigate the Chen family's information first, as well as all of Cao Qian's information. Maybe we can find some clues."

Wuqing thought for a while and said.

In just half a day, the information on the Chen family's investigation was obtained.

The Chen family is known as the first family in the Qin Dynasty. The strongest thing is not military force, but business.

The Chen family's business has spread all over the Qin Dynasty, and the Chen family also does business with other six countries, making a fortune every day. Of course, the Chen family's real profitable business is smuggling.

The Chen family has established many relationships and made a lot of profits from smuggling with six countries.

This is how the Chen family made their fortune, and the Chen family was originally supported by the Qin royal family.

In other words, the person behind everything is actually the Great Qin royal family.

In recent years, the eldest prince and the Chen family have become very close. Many people say that the Chen family has sided with the eldest prince.

There are rumors that the second prince personally went to win over the Chen family, but the Chen family declined the second prince's approach.

Just some time ago, the second prince summoned Chen Fenghua, and the quarrel ended up being unpleasant. The second prince was so angry that he wanted to send someone to kill him.

Of course, no one took the second prince's words seriously at that time.

After all, the Chen family is a large and powerful family, and the second prince would not dare to kill an elder of the Chen family at will, not to mention that this elder is the biological brother of the head of the Chen family.

Now, Chen Fenghua has really been killed. Could it be that the second prince really did this?

"The second prince would really kill Chen Fenghua because the Chen family refused to win over him, and he would dare to come to our Qingfeng City. This second prince must be too courageous."

Lengxue said doubtfully.

"Perhaps it really is him. Now that the eldest prince and the second prince are competing for the position of crown prince, it is not impossible that the second prince sends someone to kill Chen Fenghua."

Iron Hand said.

"If it is really the second prince who kills people, there are many opportunities along the way, but why choose Qingfeng City? Now even the King of Qin does not dare to be arrogant to our Qingfeng Sect. The second prince is not stupid enough to do this."

Lengxue still doesn't believe that someone sent by the second prince assassinated Chen Fenghua.

"Maybe this second prince is just stupid."

Iron Hand muttered.

Cold-blooded: "..."

"That Cao Qian, how's the investigation going?"

Qingqing did not rush to make a conclusion, but asked Chen Jiaqing's information.

"The investigation revealed that Cao Yan suddenly appeared in Daqin five years ago. The head of the Chen family was attacked by a group of mysterious bandits when he was carrying goods. It was Cao Yu who came to the rescue at that time, and then the head of the Chen family was saved. life and protected the cargo.”

"Later, the head of the Chen family invited him to be a guest of the Chen family. Until now, Cao Qian has been practicing in seclusion in the Chen family and rarely appears. This time, it is indeed the head of the Chen family who is afraid of his son. It was dangerous, so I asked him to escort us secretly along the way.”

Lengxue told the truth about the information he had investigated.

"Do you suspect that the murderer is Cao Kan?"

Lengxue suddenly reacted, looked at Wuqing and asked.

"He has been guarding in secret. With his cultivation, even if there is a slight disturbance in his cultivation, he cannot escape his eyes. Unless the opponent's cultivation is higher than his, if the opponent's realm is really higher than his, then Instead of carrying out an assassination in the middle of the night, killing Chen Fenghua in broad daylight would teach the Chen family a lesson, wouldn't it? "

Ruthless said calmly.

"Is the murderer really Cao Kan?"

Tie Shou said doubtfully that he had suspected Cao Yu before, but Cao Yu had no motive for committing the crime. He was a guest of the Chen family. Why did he kill the third elder of the Chen family? Moreover, no personal grudge between the two was found in the bloody killing.

"There must be something here that we haven't found yet. I suspect that Cao Qian has other identities. In addition, there are also doubts about the attack on the Chen family five years ago. Let Xue Sha go and investigate carefully."

Then, Qingwu said to Lengxue: "Lengxue, go and keep an eye on this Cao Qian."

"Okay! I'll go now."

He nodded ruthlessly and left.
